RON DANIELS

Ron grew up with John and their older brother on a ranch. They were a real life Tom Sawyer-like bunch of country boys. After the chores were done they were always up to something creative, and ohhh the forts they built! Ron headed off to college in the early 1990’s and finished his Master’s degree in Mathematics in 1999. From there he went full time into the tree house business with John. Wanting to broaden the business, Ron combined his electronics passion with John’s creativity and developed the shooting gallery division of the company. Today he’s the President of DWL and coordinates the general business matters while still focusing on having fun with shooting galleries.

JOHN DANIELS

You can trace the beginning of DWL all the way back to when John was in grade school, drawing pictures instead of listening to his teacher. During high school John started carving small faces and made a little money selling them. A short time later he tried carving with a chainsaw and realized he was a natural right from the beginning. And he’s been carving ever since. In 1997, John decided to build a clubhouse set atop a real hollowed log, took it to a home & garden show, and sold dozens of them. The rest is history!
